2024-2026 UIL REALIGNMENT DAY finds a couple new schools added to last realignment's District 11: Grapeland & Lovelady. We lose Carlisle who bumped back up to D1.

Jamie Rigdon and his sons have made a habit of bouncing between high schools and collecting football championships along the way. https://www.texasmonthly.com/arts-entertainment/rigdon-family-six-man-football-benjamin-high-school/ There's also some minor local connections to this story:

The Alto Yellowjackets will travel to Mount Enterprise this Friday to take on the Wildcats; kickoff is at 7:00 p.m. The Jackets and Wildcats have only played three times in football: 1978, 1979, and 2022 all Alto wins. Mount Enterprise returns 20 lettermen with 2 lost to graduation; they have 9 starters back on both sides of the ball. Both teams had a bye last week. The Jackets lost to Groveton the week before 44-20 while the Wildcats soundly defeated All Saints 60-8. The young Jackets are still looking for that first win of a season that has been pretty harsh thus far. Is this the week? ALTO VS. MOUNT ENTERPRISE SERIES RECORD 3-0 Alto 2022 Alto 34-46 1979 Alto 0-70 1978 Alto 33-7

How's your team looking? Which teams do you think are gonna come out on top of this district? Any darkhorses that can defy expectations? What do y'all think?

Two teams that have played in fits and starts all season... with Tenaha clinching district last week, Maud and Overton are fighting for who plays who in the postseason. 3-0 Tenaha 2-1 Overton 2-2 Timpson 1-2 Maud 0-3 Mount E. 0-4 Fruitvale Hmm, do three teams go into the postseason, or four? Because at 1-2, Maud is on the outside looking in. If they win, that's a three-way tie for second but I'm not sure how the tire-breaker would work. That would mean they beat Overton, who beat Timpson, who beat Maud, who beat Overton, who beat Timpson, who beat Maud, who beat... With a win, Overton would finish second in 11-2A and likely face Evadale in bi-district. Man, I'm not sure what'd be a neutral site for that game... Lufkin? Maud had a pretty hot start, so I don't know what happened against Timpson, but I reckon we'll have to score more than 9 points to beat them. Plus, I don't think this one's gonna come down to a last-second field goal. If Overton leads late, they'll run out the clock. If Maud leads late, they'll probably try to run it up for the sake of playoff calculations (I know I would). The Cards are usually tough at home (3-0 this season), so the Mustangs are gonna have to grab some momentum early to offset the homefield advantage. Can they do it? We'll see...

So here it is: Fruitvale Maud Mount Enterprise Overton Tenaha Timpson I know almost nothing about Fruitvale, except that they're a former six-man school. Timpson and Maud are pretty tough year-in and year-out, Overton and Mount Enterprise should enjoy a rather spirited Rusk County rivalry (it's been too long since these neighbors have played). Tenaha is the obvious favorite in this district, but they shouldn't expect anyone to lay down for them. Thoughts?

I've got us (Overton) in a district looking like this: District ?- 2A Division II Overton (152) Tenaha (142) Timpson (147) Mount E (102) What about y'all? What sort of district do you see your former-1A now-2A school landing in?
